Off the top of my head, here's my cumulative memory of the side effects of the "TV Drugs": heart attack, brain tumor, ovarian tumor, explosive diarhhea, diabetes, liver failure, blindness, seizures, colon cancer, naseau, bloating, gas, nervous disorder, hair loss, hearing loss, etc., ad nasuem; and oh, my favorite, "an urgent and frequent need to have an 'explosive bowel movement', and a complete inability to control it".So you are one of the writers for Gray's Anatomy.

What's With All the Prescription Drug Commercials?
Don't worry about all those side-effects, they got a pill to care of them too!

The white guy is the stupid schlep... I recently saw a TV commercial (sorry, can't recall the product) in which a black female was actually cast as the idiot. I couldn't believe my eyes. This must have been done for its shock value.

I think you're reading far too much into things.
Yes, it's logical that a scene would end at the point at which somebody points out that someone has died or was murdered - that's just the way drama is presented.
The 666? You saw one example and you think it's something. You're looking for the example and you found one. Not representative.
Finally, your whole premise is wrong. The "culture of death" is not about a concerted, directed effort. It's about decline.

You have an amazing capacity to hold a grudge. That you even remember that is surprising. That you keep pinging me on the topic is just sorta creepy.
Please stop.
To: Bubbatuck
Your singular racial paranoia was what initially creeped me out.
To: Bubbatuck
You have an amazing capacity to hold a grudge. Remember that the next time you loosely throw around allegations of racism, jackass.
To: martin_fierro
You're an ass. Just step away and leave alone.

"Their single purpose is to cause the patient to pressure the doctor into prescribing the particular drug."They also serve to let people being treated with one drug for the condition know that there are options. Lots of people are reluctant to ask questions of their doctor and lots of doctors don't consider enough options. Informed patients get better care.

Just step away and leave alone. Yeah, you wish. Short of an apology from you on that thread, that's not gonna happen, Willie.

And then there's the sophomoric insertion of Liberal propaganda in a crime show...last night's Criminal Minds, (and a worse show on TV you'd be hard put to name). The lead actor, Mandy Patemkin, responds about the elusive killer's clues..."It's like WMD's. A fantasy, they never were." I paraphrase, but that was the gist of it and I hit the remote.
